TO: MAE team
Todd Boyle, an ebXML participant, pointed out provisions of the recently
completed Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in Brunei that
encourage lowering the barriers to e-business around the world. President
Clinton, Russian president Putin, and most other leaders in the region
attended the meeting. See the White House fact sheet for details:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/WH/New/november2000/fact11_15.html .
This initiative may offer us an opportunity to make some noise about ebXML.
One of the main objectives of ebXML is to lower the barriers to e-business.
As a result, we can connect these good intentions to a way to get them done.
Worth discussing further? Best regards.
